price is nice if the rebate comes in.. Be aware these are USB 1.1 Cables. Buy.com stripped that fact out of the specs... PORT AUTHORITY2 RETRACTABLE CABLE KIT Product # 28268

I have submitted my Fraud Paper Work to AOL for the extra account last week. Thus far I have been round and round with AOL and the Staff at the CC Store. No one wants to make the difference between the $14.95 AND $23.90 plans right. They basically point the finger at each other. I write letters next I guess.

Well, I just got off the phone with, Fraud. They have to mail me an affidavit to sign stating that the other account is bogus. Once they get that they will refund me the money. She would not change my plan from $23.90 to $14.95, she said that she could not do it. She did say thet there was an investigation going on into the whole Black Friday / Circuit City / AOL Rebate deal.. She said that there was no reason the system would crash because of the plan selection. She said she had talked to others with the same problem. All she would say was that AOL was "investigating abuse of the Black Friday Promotion by certain Circuit City Stores" She said that if I wanted to get the difference between the two plans I would have to go speak with the manager of the store i signed up at and have them compensate me... WHAT UTTER BS!!!!! Circuit City and AOL can both KISS MY A**!!!!!!! This will be the last time I purchase anything from either organization. I am going to see the CC manager and if he won't do anything about it, I will work my way up the chain. Would like to hear from anyone else in a similar boat... Thanks..

I thought it was finally over when I finally walked out of CC Black Friday with the $199 Toshiba Laptop after AO'Hell Rebate and waiting 5 hours to check out after actually getting in the store.... BUT NOOOOO!!!!! Like everyone else I was not allowed to sign up for the BYOB Plan for $14.95 and got stuck with the $23.90 regular plan. CC said "it made their system crash" OK, so I call AOL the next day, tell them my story... They say OK and tell me they have changed my Plan... I also give them a diffrent Debit card to bill than the one I gave CC. All Fine and good right??? WRONG!!!! I just happen to notice today that BOTH Debit Cards are getting billed $23.90 a month, so I go back and look and they were BOTH dinged for $23.90 each in December too.. I have spent my whole day trying to get this cleaned up. I started with online suppirt they were no help and refered me to the 800#. I get a nice guy that figures out what is going on. Not only did the downgrade not go through but, Circuit City created two different accounts for me and they have BOTH been getting billed. He tells me he can't fix it because if he cancels one of the accounts one of the accounts I will automatically get charged the remainder of the contract. He also can't credit me back the $47.80 I was billed for the other account. he tells me only AOL's Fraud department can fix it. He gave me the number for AOL Fraud,... so I call AOL Fraud... as I type this I have been holding for 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Thanks for the Tip, I'll do that on future Games. I wanted new ones for Christmas. I got Mario Cart DD for $19.99 at walmart and Spyro: A Hero's Tail for $19.99 from Target Online.

I Got the Mario Party 7 Bundle for $99 at CC on BF for my 5 and 8 YO daughters, they are asking santa for a Nintendo this year . They have recently gotten into playing Nintendo at their after school. They are using a Nintendo 64 and go on and on about playing Mario Party 3, Mario Kart, and Spyro. I asked around and my friends that are into consoles said the GC was the best one for Little'r kids, It has a large selection of non-violent titles and it's under rated for it's performance. iIgot the impression most of them don't take it too seriously. So based on that, I figured it was the best way to go for them. Amazon has a couple of bundles: Game Cube Mario Party 7 Bundle $99 It's Actually from Gamestop but, the same bundle doesn't come up on their website. NGC Super Smash Bros. Melee Bundle $99.88 On that note... Anyone Know where I can get "Spyro: Enter the Dragon" and "Mario Kart: Double Dash" from for the least $$$$. Those are the only eqivalents to the N64 games they play I can find for the GC. Right now Walmart is leading the pack. Mario Kart Double Dash $19.99 Spyro: Enter the Dragon $24.99 Anyone know where to get them Cheaper??

Got The Hynix Stick I bought on ebay Today.. Installed it and booted it up. BIOS Recognized it and set the Video RAM to 128MB automatically. Makes a huge difference screens just pop instantly now. Overall speed and boost is very noticeable, much quicker than before. I ran CPUID and it doesn't pull up anything in the Memory Tab but 1024MB, other than that its blank. I downloaded Sisoft Sandra and it shows 1 Channel, Sandra Also shows that I have 1GB installed and that no Ram is shared with the Video so, Don't know is that's right either. The DDR2 SODIMM I got is Identical to the stock one. Looks exactly like it, has the same part number and the production date of the two are only two weeks apart according to the SPD tab in CPUID. So I dunno if it's Dual Channeling or not, I need to try some other utilities maybe. The extra 512MB is very noticeable though.

The Wife is Loving it, speed increase is huge over her 3 year old Compaq. She keep saying "Everything opens so fast.." I have another 512MB stick coming, be here this week. Wait'll she gets 1GB and Dual Channel.. She ain't seen nothing yet. I put Spy Sweeper and AVG Free on it Saturday Night.. Cost me an additional $30. :) I totally feel for all you people that got stuck paying $165 for AV, AS, and Labor... That was a Total Scam.. I guess CC figured they could get away with it, and no one would turn it down after waiting hours and hours... I'd have been pissed but probably would have taken it. Still it's a crappy way to do business, sort of like how they forced everyone at the CC I was at to signup for the $24 AOL Plan just because they made more money on it. (I already called AOL and switch to the $14.95 Plan.)

If it's like my Dell it should turn on automatically when the second SODIMM is installed. If not turn it on in the BIOS. If the BIOS won't let you enable it then it's a no go. If it boots in Dual channel mode you should be good to go. If you really want to hammer on it to be sure then download memtest86 If it survives that you are set. I got an email from the ebay seller I bought the matching Hynix stick from. He mailed it today via priority mail. Should have it Wendsday or Thursday. I'll post my results when i get it.

It'll "work" but as 1.5GB of RAM at least it should. Dual Channel won't work, at least not according to the Toshiba L25-S1193 Spec Sheet

They are so going to come after you.

Hahahahaahahah IDIOTS!!! Paying that much because they Gotta be first to have one.... To Bad they are so frought with problems they will likely get recalled...

More info on the RAM from Here: I have a question about Cleaning the Trubrite Screens.. My wife already has a dozen finger prints on hers... What should we use to clean it without scratching it?? We have bunches of "Read Right® Kleen and Dry™ CRT Screen Cleaning Pads" at work that work fine on my Dell Lattiude D810 Laptop. They consist of a Wet Pad and a Dry Pad. Think they would be OK on the TruBrite?? They also make Read Right® Kleen and Dry™ Notebook Computer Screen Kleen" The Notebook ones have ~1/3 More Alchohol and ~1/3 Less water than the CRT pads according to the MSDS's for each. One vendors has In the description on their website for both kinds of pads. So does that apply to the TruBrite?? All it Says in the manual is Any ideas or Input anyone??
